Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version?

Sony's new Vita, PS4 headphones up on Amazon

I'm still glued to my old Turtle Beach Mobile M5 model for my Vita gaming, but if you're in the market for a new pair of ear-warmers, check out Sony's new set. It offers 7.1 virtual surround sound for the big consoles, but not the Vita. The benefit of wireless has to be pretty big and it should last eight hours before charging. There's a mic for chat and they look pretty slick.


There was some fuss over old models not working with the PS4, so for comparison, Turtle Beach's new model offer proper Dolby Digital Surround at greater cost and doesn't offer wireless microphone on PS4, which seems rather dumb. You can use them on your Vita too, check them out on Amazon...
